morning. In fact it reminded one a
a barber shop on Saturday night or
Sunday morning.
The first victim was one Dick Roe,
who had been too liberal with the
flowing bowl, in his ardent worship
Of Baechus. "Gullty or not guilty ?"
said the Police Judge. His answer
made him Sl2.O 90 poorer, and re de-

meditating upon the vieissitudes Of
the transgressOF. Next" was heard
emanating from the mouth Of the
Judge, and the marshal brought
forth one Ed Kelley, who was ar
raigned before the bar Of justice.
His Honor said: "Mr. Kelley you
have been charged here with carry
ing deadly weapons, and disehargiHg
the same within the corporal limits
Of my Jurisdiction. What say you
TO this ," The prisoner looked about
him, surveyed the manly forms Of
Chace and Tyler, and the shs p
eagle eyes Of his Honor. and the
word guilty" was heard passiU z
from his quivering lips.
Before he departed his purse was
tapped to the amount ofsi2, aud his
Honor roared, Next"
This ejaculation produced a
gentleman Of color. His name was
Harvey Wheeler, he had fed frOL,
justice some time ago, but the vigil
liant officers had succeeded In get-
ting him into their clutches, and b
was here 10 do penanee for assault
and battery. His plea Of II il

Honor. who in response said "S5 and
costs" The amount was paid, ana
he went his way to sin no more.
The next case called was, city Of
Salina against John Itten. He was
charged 10y one II. Meleher with as
sault, in the formers barber shop on
Saturday night. The trouble arose
about a razor that had disappeared.
After hearing a few witnesses, his
honor discharged Mr.. Itten and
found that the prosecution was ma
licious and without cause, and as
ssesed the whole fine 50 and costs,
against the prosecuting witness, Mel
cher. He gave security for 30 days
stay.
a few complaints were next lodged
against parties for various Oflenses,
and fallen angels will receive the at
tention Of the police for a while.

The Democrats will be beset in the
next campaign with similar troubles
70 those which the Republicans ex-
pericneed in the last campaign. New
York will embrace a considerable
part OF the lighting ground, If ii does
not furnish the decisive test. The
labor vote IN that state will come
mostly from the Democratic ranks,
and the truth IL the Democratic
party there has q very close
margin. In 1884 Mr.. Cleveland had
plurality Of about /, 100 in that state,
by the grace OF the mugwumps and
the Third Partyites, giving him the
thirty-six electoral votes or a major
ity Of eighteen votes in the Electoral
College. Mr.. Cleveland's election
hinged on this pittance In the great
est state in the Union! 1t was q
close call, and the Democrats will
have nothing to spare in the coming
election. Certainly the shrewdness
OF the Republicans equals Democrat
&c smartness. The Republicans were
caught mapping before-lulled 10
sleep In faneied security In the just
ness Of their cause. Forewarned
they will be fOfearmed In the fight,
and they will buckle on their armOr

went into power under the Pg Of

pandering to a sentiment OF unrest;
but that promise OF the reform era
has failed in its fulfillment. Much

and hence il is no surprise that DEM
